THE OREGON YOUTH SAILING FOUNDATION WAS ESTABLISHED WITH THE PURPOSE OF ENCOURAGING, PROMOTING, AND SUPPORTING YOUTH SAILING IN OREGON AND SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON. PARTICULAR ATTENTION IS GIVEN TO MAKING SAILING ACCESSIBLE TO THE LOW INCOME AND UNDER SERVED COMMUNITY. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH TARGETING OUR DONATIONS TO PROGRAMS DEEMED CONSISTENT WITH OUR MISSION, AS WELL AS THROUGH ENCOURAGING VOLUNTEERISM FROM AMONG THE SAILING COMMUNITY AND BEYOND.
